On the recordJuly 26, 2017
Madam President, I intend to offer the following motion to commit on older Americans to H.R. 1628 and I ask that it be printed in the Record. The motion is supported by Senators Casey, Leahy, Brown, Harris, Feinstein, Hirono, Blumenthal, Whitehouse, Baldwin, Franken, Carper, Van Hollen, Menendez, Coons, Udall, Reed, Manchin, Warren, Stabenow, Durbin, Cardin, King, Klobuchar, and Warner. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: Motion to Commit With Instructions Mr. Nelson moves to commit the bill H.R. 1628 to the Committee on Finance with instructions to report the same back to the Senate in 3 days, not counting any day on which the Senate is not in session, with changes that-- (1) are within the jurisdiction of such committee; and (2) eliminate provisions that harm older Americans by increasing their premiums, cutting Federal Medicaid funding that supports those in nursing homes, or weakening Medicare.
